Baked Ham Recipe

You won’t believe how easy this baked ham recipe is to make! It’s as delicious as it is festive, and it’s perfect for the center of your holiday table.

Start with a store bought spiral sliced ham. Spiral sliced hams are already fully cooked, but need to be flavored and warmed without drying out the ham. For the recipe, discard the seasoning package that comes with the ham. We will be making our own delicious homemade ham glaze!

Wrap the ham tightly in foil and follow the package instructions for heating the ham.

Once the ham is heated through, remove foil covering and prepare glaze.

I like to use whole cloves when I can to secure the decorative pineapples and use toothpick for the trickier areas. Use the longer pointed end of the whole cloves and press them into the pineapple until it is secured to the ham.

Use toothpicks for the cherries and for the pineapple slices on the sides of the ham.

Combine brown sugar, mustard and pineapple juice as needed to make a thick glaze. Then get busy spooning the glaze all over and in between the spiral ham slices.
